Top Downtown Cherokee Hotel Reviews

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

8/10 Good

"Overall goid place. We had end room letting in too much light through small windoes at night and rosd noise was not good."

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This room was so affordable compared to others in the area. It was spotless. Probably one of the cleanest rooms I’ve ever stayed in, especially for a more affordable hotel. I even complimented the cleaning lady on such a good job. It’s in a very good location to downtown Gatlinburg. The swimming pool looked amazing, even though we didn’t get a chance to use it. I will definitely stay here again in the future. The only thing that I would say is, if you have someone handicap with you, make sure to request a bottom floor because there is no elevator. Only stairs to the top we had quite a walk to our room. Other than that, everything was fantastic."
